static-mac

Description

Adds a static MAC address to the MAC address table and associates it with a port or existing VLAN. Static MAC addresses can only be assigned to layer 2 (non-routed) interfaces. Static MAC addresses are not affected by the MAC address aging time.

The no form of this command deletes a static MAC address.
